    Broken door handles, both front

    Should have it together this weekend guys, really busy at the shop with holidays. And my truck is a 2012 so I’m alittle disappointed in the plastic interior. For a 40-50k truck, should have been built a lot better.

    Anyone running 400hp 5.3L?

    Ok sorry guys holidays have caught up with me. Lol 6.0 engine has been ordered. That’s the biggest they could get in a “NEW rebuilt” condition

    yeah but the way the Tahoe door panel is made, it’s all one piece. So it won’t transfer the same.

    Full arm rest and door leather panel. Door lock captures this is my work truck so I’m not gonna go to crazy but the breakup in color will be a nice touch. Thought about the chrome speaker covers too.

    No I’m going to drill out the plastic rivets from each panel and build the black and cashmere panels. The plastic rivets I can replace with screws and washers.

    I’ve started to do the personalization lol. But the truck has some worn parts so it’s time. broken door armrests/handles and peeling Chrome. Bought the Escalade upgrades, and we are gonna manufacture black/cashmere door panels for each door. I can see the Escalade woven panels are already...

    Anyone running 400hp 5.3L?

    See, here’s the thing. I play with foreign cars, as my career so modifying is my love. I watched a video on bringing the 5.3L engine to life. It made sense. Lower the compression, increase inhale, increase exhale and takeoff!!!! I set the bar at 400 because it feels smooth. I’d like a round...

    I will go tomorrow morning and swap the 5.3L for the 6.2L I’m keeping the vvt and AFM. I have no problems with either system.

    Yeah I figured I’d be doing a trans soon too. Especially with a motor build. Because I love the truck very much.

    Anyone running 400hp 5.3L?

    Yeah I’m looking to be at 400hp to not feel the drop off when I drive my cars around. Definitely pulling benefits involved because I haul cars around daily. Ok so the a Modded 5.3, is still not as good as a Stock 6.2L This is what it is going in. She will turn the lights out after an...

    Anyone running 400hp 5.3L?

    Well I’m definitely interested in the 6.2, look at what I’m driving now lol. a 6.2 Silverado and that thing Barks!!!! But yes I need 5.5 0-60 at least. Looks like I’ll be returning a motor. I’ll have some questions about doing this correctly.

    Ohhhhhh man you guys are on it. can I buy the Stock 6.2 and run it without swapping PCM. My shop has a saying: We will make your car the best it could ever be from the factory. Mainly for repair, insurance and warranty purposes. I’d love to go 6.2 in the Tahoe too.

    Anyone running 400hp 5.3L?

    I am about to embark on this mission as well as a few other things with the Tahoe. Not gonna waste any time. We just bought a crate motor, with 0 miles. 1.shave the heads to raise compression 2. Camshaft upgrade (any recommendations) 3. custom Live tune by someone. If I get to 380-400hp...
